It's ridiculous. I always think there's a danger of overkill with 20/20 cricket because we always play the same teams every year and seventeen matches to win the tournament is a lot, but I don't think the competition would lost it's popularity at a stroke if everyone played sixteen rather than fourteen group matches. The same sort of thing its going to happen in the four day game next season, where we won't be playing everyone twice so it's no longer a level playing field in two of the three competitions we play, someone could end up not playing the weaker teams as often as most others, while others have fixture lists top heavy with games against those sides.
